Aider

Integration via MCP Server — same 7 tools as Cursor and Windsurf.

Setup

Aider supports MCP servers. BrainBase registers itself as a stdio MCP server that Aider can call for memory operations.

$ brainbase init
Detected: Aider
Registering MCP server... done

How it works

Identical to the Cursor/Windsurf integration. BrainBase runs as an MCP server using stdio JSON-RPC. Aider calls the 7 memory tools automatically — memory_process_message with every message, memory_context for retrieval, and the rest for search, add, status, related, and remind operations.

Troubleshooting

MCP not connecting? Make sure brainbase is in your PATH and the watcher is running. Restart Aider after setup.
